About the tour

The ferry crossing from any of our UK ports is a relaxing way to begin a few days of sightseeing that will include pretty countryside along with superb food and drink.

The hotel-restaurants we have selected are all part of the Tables et Saveurs de Bretagne label so you can be sure it is the best of Breton cuisine prepared with quality ingredients.

To work up an appetite you may like to take one of the many marked coastal footpaths in beautiful north Brittany and visit charming medieval towns such as Quimper, Lannion and Vannes as well as the seaside resorts of Perros Guirec and Trégastel on the Pink Granite Coast.

You can combine any of our car and motorcycle tours, or you can even plan your very own itinerary from scratch using any of our hotels in France. Perhaps you just want to add a few nights to one of these tours? Anything is possible - just ask!

In and around Plouider

Plouider - this delightful country village has an impressive church and distant sea views.

St Pol de Léon - just south of Roscoff, a fishing port and busy market town selling the plentiful local produce and boasting a charming cathedral square with pavement cafés and restaurants.

Morlaix (40 minutes east of Plouider) is one of the larger towns in the area and has a huge viaduct across the river estuary and a pedestrian old town with picturesque 15thC houses.

Brest - a historic naval port and university city which also has the renowned Océanopolis marine science park. Between Plouider and Billiers you may like to stop at Quimper, a busy riverside city which has a great cathedral in the old quarter and is also famous for traditional faïence pottery. There are some beautiful gardens
here too.

In and around Billiers

Billiers is a perfect place to relax, take in the exceptional coastal scenery and perhaps go for a walk or enjoy a swim in the hotel pool.

La Roche Bernard - about 15 minutes away, has dominated the River Vilaine for a thousand years. These days people come to wander around its quaint streets and take boat trips down the river. You can find out all about its maritime history – including building warships in the 17th century – at the Musée de la Vilaine Maritime.

Carnac - known throughout the world for its unique rows of ancient standing stones. The town is split into two areas: Carnac-Ville, where you’ll find the Museum of Prehistory, and Carnac-Plage, a family seaside resort with a state-of-the-art thalassotherapy centre. Oyster farming is big business here.

Josselin - (on one of the routes to Trébeurden) is a must see on any tour of Brittany. From its medieval castle, still lived in by members of the legendary Rohan family, to the doll museum, and from its attractive old town to canal-based fun or forest walks, there’s something to interest everybody.

Pontivy - (also en route to Trébeurden) now a quiet market town where the River Blavet meets the Nantes-Brest canal, Pontivy was once the seat of one of Brittany’s most powerful families before becoming one of Napoléon’s new towns. Visit the castle then stroll around the pretty Roscoff streets or along the beautiful canal.

In and around Trébeurden

Trébeurden - has a popular marina, some lovely sandy beaches and great walks with wonderful sea views.

Pleumeur Bodou - near here is the Cité des Télécoms museum and planetarium.

Perros Guirec - has 2 sheltered, gently shelving beaches with views (and boat trips) across to the Sept Iles, a group of 7 islands which are a sanctuary for many thousands of sea birds. There are also invigorating walks along the GR34 coastal footpath takingyou past incredible pink rock formations.

Lannion - an old river port and typical Breton town with some beautiful half timbered houses and hilly cobbled streets.

Trégastel - another popular seaside resort on the stunning Pink Granite coast.

Paimpol - has a 13thC abbey, medieval houses and the Musée de la Mer fishing museum. There are also some great quayside restaurants.

Pointe de l’Arcouest - (an hour to the east of Trébeurden) has fabulous views across the bay to the colourful Ile de Bréhat. If you are sailing from St Malo or one of our ports in Normandy you may like to visit one of these places on the way:

Cap Fréhel - has a bird sanctuary, lighthouse and panoramic views.

Fort la Latte - a medieval castle in a spectacular position on a headland.

Sables d’Or les Pins and Erquy - just two of the many beautiful sandy beaches along this part of the Emerald coast (Erquy also has a little fishing harbour).
